PLO8 $500 - The giant nothing to lose (?) bet

Fiasco · #1 06-10-2006, 04:28 AM

This is without a doubt the biggest pot Ive ever been a part of. What are peoples thoughts on my ginormous river bet? My thought at the time is that I'm not very likely to be quartered, and I could be quartering the CO. Also, I may be quartering or scooping the BB if I can get CO to fold his high. If I AM quartered, this bet costs me $125. If I'm quartering CO the bet makes me $125. If im scooping BB and I get CO to fold a better high it makes me $317. If im quartering BB and I get CO to fold a better high it makes me $158.

BB is 34/3.5/1.0 after thirty hands, a couple hands ago he got it all in with me when he had a 5 high flush and a weak low draw (which he of course hit), I am not impressed by him at all. CO is 56.5/1.0/0.85 after 185 hands, and is somewhat loose and tricky.

Note how crushed CO had me on the flop, Im lucky I hit such a sweet turn card.

I couldnt bet it anymore, as BB's all in didnt count as a full raise.

Bet pot on turn

You are weak on flop so you bet full pot

You get there on the turn, you bet 2/3 pot, definite tell amoung a lot of PLO8 players, just keep betting pot, with your "cute" 2/3 pot bet, if the BB folds the turn then you cant get it all in on the river and possibly qtr someone off for the maximum
